During assembly, some wheel speed sensors may have been improperly installed and do not seal the hub assembly. Water may enter the hub assembly and damage the wheel bearing. In areas where road salt is used, the wheel bearings may corrode, which may cause the wheel to separate and fall off, increasing the risk of a crash. CORRECTIVE ACTION Inspect both rear ABS wheel speed sensors and their O-rings. If an ABS wheel speed sensor or O-ring is damaged, replace the damaged part and the hub bearing unit on that wheel. REPAIR PROCEDURE 1. 2. 3. 4. Raise the vehicle on a lift. Remove the rear wheels. Remove both rear ABS wheel speed sensors.

SYMPTOM Excessive cranking is needed to start the engine after the car is driven and then parked (with the engine off) for about 15 to 20 minutes. The engine stalls a few times before it begins to run smoothly, and the MIL may come on with a misfire DTC stored in the PCM. PROBABLE CAUSE In certain areas where the climate is very cold during the winter season, oil companies sell fuel that is specially formulated for improved cold weather driveability. If the weather is unseasonably warm in these areas during the winter season, the lower boiling point of this fuel causes the fuel in the lines to vaporize, resulting in a hard start or a misfire at start-up. NOTE: This condition occurs primarily in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, and Colorado. If you are not located in the states listed above, contact your DSM before doing any of the following repairs. Otherwise, your claim may be debited. CORRECTIVE ACTION Replace the fuel pressure regulator and the PCM. REPAIR PROCEDURE 1. Download the immobilizer information from the PCM in the car with the PGM Tester. Refer to S/B 00-049, Immobilizer System (Type 2). 2. Write down the customer’s radio station presets. 3. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. 4. Remove the fuel fill cap. 5. Place a shop towel over the fuel pulsation damper, then slowly turn the damper counterclockwise to loosen it and relieve fuel pressure. 6. Tighten the fuel pulsation damper, and torque it to 22 N.m (16 lb-ft). 7. Disconnect the vacuum hose and the fuel return hose from the fuel pressure regulator. FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR
